70 X 7

The Meaning of 70x7

The name 70x7 is synonymous with God's eternal forgiveness. Matthew 18:21-22 in the new King James version of the Bible reads: Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."

How do you use this as a spiritual practice?  Does the action of practice help us get closer to feeling loving and forgiving? 

For me it's an ongoing journey.  If you think you do not have any un-forgiveness, stop and re-think that.  This is something that makes me stop and think "ouch", I still have some unloving thoughts at times about others. 
 
David and I both wear these bracelets.  They are a practice tool for us to remember to use this principle to honor those places in us that struggle.  Un-forgiveness hurts my heart.  So when I have a judgment come up for me or anyone else.  I forgive.  I take off my beads and send blessings and love to them or myself.....counting off one bead at a time....70 beads, 70 times for 7 days....
 
What a powerful way to remember that there is no judgment in God, from God, in God and because of my humanness and desire to be here, I must practice to remember that it only hurts me. 
 
One life and that life is god and in that there is nothing but love....70 x 7..and so it is.

January 2009 Well, I have truly been the success story. I was getting divorced the first time I went to a Real Love Seminar some four years ago at New Vision (2005) Everything in my life was falling apart. I lost a bunch, especially being a Realtor. I went through the Real Love host training way back when with Reverend Michelle, went to another intensive weekend, continued to grow and now have a thriving, growing, rockin’ out Real Love co-ed group. I still want and yearn to do something with the teen kids. I now find myself 1-2 nights a week visiting with couples, having one on ones talking about the principals. They grow and find happiness……………..WOW……..I am so thankful. During the rough times, I almost lost my son. Ready to put him on a plane to his dad’s, I instead called and got a real love coach. It saved our lives. 2 months with Daphne Rocked! So now today, I live in a loving relationship, married to a man that firmly believes and practices real love principles. I joke with hi...

Spritual Oneness

I am truly one in God with my partner.  There is no separation  between us in the good, bad, or the ugly.  There is so much beauty in the conflict we share.  Sometimes it's cutting, sometimes is slight, and sometimes is just down right stupid.  But the beauty of this dance is while I sit in the midst of chaos of misunderstandings and behaviors driven by perceived pain, I find peace.  I hear a higher calling for my goodness.  I hear the whisper of God every day, telling me that this is releasing me from the pain of my past and is calling me to a higher faith.  I recall 18 years ago Reverend Michelle did a sermon and spoke to my heart and changed my life.  She spoke of duality that is created by the pain in our minds.  She said there is no such thing as good or bad happenings in our lives, but everything has singleness of purpose, everything is for our higher good, God is in everything. She said, "It's not a freight train coming ...

Trick or Treat!

Will you get tricked or treated? The dictionary defines trick as an act or a procedure intended to achieve an end by deceptive or fraudulent means. One of the definitions of treat is to give (someone or oneself) something pleasurable. Often pleasure is considered the treat and the denial of pleasure the trick. The truth is often the reverse. Short term pleasure often results in long term pain. A bag full of instant pleasure often rots out teeth, promotes diabetes and adds unhealthy weight. A bed full of pleasure can ruin marriages, cause unwanted pregnancy and disease. A bottle or syringe full of pleasure can cost you your job, reputation and freedom. Trick or treat was not the original nor current deception. The real trick is Trick AND Treat.
